Ever try to imagine the perfect XXX spoof? It would have to
closely follow a recognizable movie storyline, be fun to
watch, have fairly good acting and, most of all, have great
sex. Well, Down and Dirty in Beverly Hills fulfills
all these expectations and more. It's a steamy, scandalous,
sex-filled look at how one Beverly Hills family's life is
changed when they take in a bag lady.

From the opening scenes between the lady of the house and
her gardener (Colleen Brennan and Buck Adams), and sonny-boy
and the maid (Tony Martino and Vanessa D'Oro) we know we're
in for a treat. Brennan camps it up admirably, howling at
every opportunity in her encounter with Adams. When they're
finished, she walks to the window to tell him her plant
problems, but spies a bag lady (Porsche Lynn) leaning over
her daugher (Summer Rose) who's so smashed, she's passed out.
"There's an animal on my daughter! Call 911! Call 911!" From
this point on, we know we're on target.

The storyline follows the original Hollywood film very
closely, but these producers remember why they're here . . .
sex! Down and Dirty in Beverly Hills has a lot of erotica,
with just enough plot to hold it together. Since most of us
know the story, that's fine. All of the players here generate
plenty of heat, but any of the scenes with either Brennan or
D'Oro are especially good. D'Oro is one of the freshest faces
I've seen in a while: she's cute, has a phenomenal body,
likes to do it, and can act as well. Brennan also proves her
acting and comedic talents here. Her timing is right on the
mark, and she appears to enjoy every bit of nookie she can
get! All of her scenes, sexual or not, are a pleasure to
watch. I even like Herschel Savage in this one. When Lynn
demonstrates her oral abilities and he replies "I haven't
been hard since 1982 ... I feel like a man again!," you can't
help but laugh.

Technically, for a shot-on-video, Down and Dirty in
Beverly Hills is pretty good. But overall, the quality of
the acting, the heat and the enjoyable situations make this
one great feature you'll be down and out over if you pass it
up.
